The Los Angeles Dodgers of Los Angeles take their California adventure on the road to a decidedly different city and county, with a two-game set beginning tonight in Anaheim, California. Fresh off a two-game home minnie-sweep of the Angels, the team has to feel good about their chances for building a little momentum, though Angel Stadium hasn't always proven to be the happiest place on earth for Dodger success. Weaver of course is coming off an elbow injury (after landing goofy on a play) that has kept him out for much of the season, and one would have to be in fantasyland to think he could just bounce right back from something like that. Nor, however, will we really know what to expect from Capuano; we've seen some great moments with Mr. Capuano but he faces an uphill battle against a team that can put up some big thunder offense.

Speaking of injuries, Kemp was hit in the elbow/forearm with a pitch yesterday, which may give Mattingly ariel excuse to sit him for a day without the threat the kind of clubhouse drama we've seen recently that seems more like Toontown. We'll have to see how Mattingly tinkers with the lineup as a result.

My mom just said "Who could get just 1 run on 4 hits except the Dodgers". For some reason Her dementia isn't as bad when I come down to her house and we watch the Dodgers game together. Isn't that great??
